<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The Women and Gender Studies Institute (WGSI) at the University of Toronto invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, with a focus
on Gender and Indigeneity. The start date for the position will be July 1, 2014.
The successful candidate may work on Indigenous issues in a range of settings and geographical locations and will have an ability to set this work within a comparative and relational
framework, with an understanding of Aboriginal/Indigenous issues in Canada strongly preferred. We are especially interested in intersectional research that grapples with gender, race, class, sexuality, religion and other important differences, research which
draws on or is in conversation with critical transnational, diasporic, and post- and anti-colonial feminist scholarship. Candidates may apply from any disciplinary or interdisciplinary background. We particularly welcome applications from scholars with a commitment
to community-based research and to working directly with Aboriginal/Indigenous communities, and an engagement with Indigenous methodologies, including storytelling and arts-based methodologies.
Applicants will have the opportunity to work closely with, and
cross-list courses in, relevant affiliated departments, including Aboriginal Studies, but also African Studies, Canadian Studies, Caribbean Studies, Centre for the Study of the U.S., East Asian Studies, and/or Latin American Studies, as well as other departments.
Situated
on or near the traditional territories of various First Nations, including the Anishinabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, faculty at WGSI recognize the transcolonial and transnational links that extend throughout the Americas, and elsewhere, and
the Indigenous political, social and cultural issues that have given rise to international Indigenous rights and decolonization movements. WGSI at the University of Toronto includes undergraduate and graduate programs, including a new Ph.D. program (<a href="http://www.wgsi.utoronto.ca" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">www.wgsi.utoronto.ca</span></a>).
WGSI adopts a transnational approach to women and gender studies, an approach which speaks both to the distinctively global character of the city of Toronto, but also to anti- and post-colonial and transnational contexts throughout the world. The transnational
perspective explores the global processes in which women’s and men's lives, gender relations, gendered subjectivities and sexualities are situated. In particular, WGSI has distinctive strengths in the following five fields: (1) feminist anti- and post-colonial,
diasporic and transnational studies; (2) gender, sexuality and queer studies; (3) cultural studies; (4) feminist studies of technology, science, environment and biomedicine; and (5) transnational political economy and development studies. WGSI is devoted to
creative, conceptual and empirical research; critical pedagogy; collaborations with a broad group of affiliated faculty; and projects developed with a wide ranging collection of communities and other social justice actors.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. by
date of appointment or shortly thereafter, with demonstrated excellence in teaching and research, and Indigenous community engagement. Duties consist of research and teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels. Salary will be commensurate with experience
and qualifications.
All qualified candidates are invited to apply. Applications should include: a cover letter; curriculum vitae; statement outlining current and future research interests; one writing sample of no more than 50 pages; teaching dossier (including
course outlines, and student evaluations, as well as a statement on teaching philosophy).
The UofT application system can accommodate up to five attachments (10 MB) per candidate profile; please combine attachments into one or two files in PDF/MS Word format.
Submission guidelines can be found at: <a href="http://uoft.me/how-to-apply" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://uoft.me/how-to-apply</span></a>.
Applicants should also ask three referees to e-mail letters directly to the Director of WGSI at <a href="mailto:bonnie.mcelhinny@utoronto.ca" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">bonnie.mcelhinny@utoronto.ca</span></a> by
January 31, 2014.
We will begin reviewing applications on January 31, 2014, but will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
If you have questions about this position, please contact the Director of WGSI at <a href="mailto:bonnie.mcelhinny@utoronto.ca" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">bonnie.mcelhinny@utoronto.ca</span></a>.
